| | | What's this Chick?
Hi All
This little chick ran across my path yesterday along the river Ivel. Is anyone able to ID it with such bad pics? You can just about see an eye, head and a bit of beak....some kind of water bird.
Many thanks.
PS I really wanted to take it home but knew its brothers and sisters were around because I heard them calling lol...    |

Hi Christina,
I have just checked out a few pics of Red-Legged Partridge chicks and I would say that is what you have in your pic! |
